The crowd waited until they arrived at a small city.

Listening to Gu Li, after this city, after a mountain, you can see the capital.

Yun Sheng stood on the roof of the carriage, stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction pointed by Gu Li, she didn't see anything, but she seemed to see something, and the smile on her lips was faint.

"Come down, watch out for a moment." Zhang Jiusheng stood below, tilted his head, and stretched out his hand towards Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng raised the corners of his lips, grabbed Zhang Jiusheng's arm and jumped out of the carriage, her body was getting better and better, there was no problem jumping up and down, and she wouldn't be out of breath if she ran a few more steps.

Zhang Jiusheng looked at it, bitter and sweet in his heart.

Sweetly, I don't have to worry that she will suddenly faint and may not wake up again in the future.

Bitterly, it also means that he will not be needed anymore.

"Be careful." Zhang Jiusheng protected her, like protecting his own child, holding it for fear of falling, and fearing that it would melt, nothing was right.

Gu Li and Zhang Tong stood aside, looking at the movements of the two of them, Gu Li frowned, he couldn't quite understand Zhang Jiusheng's emotions, but he hadn't experienced the love of children, and it was normal not to understand.

Gu Li comforted himself like this.

"Our adults are so good to the eldest lady!" Zhang Tong sighed.

"It's good, just wait for the time to separate, don't cry." Gu Li said lukewarmly.

It's not so much envy as jealousy.

Zhang Tong saw it in his eyes, snorted, and said, "You are the heart of a villain." ”

"So what? Do you think that after the matter is over, the eldest lady will follow him back to that small county town? ”

"Then do you think we adults don't count in our hearts?"

"Then why should he come with him and suffer another sin?"

"Is the mind of our adults something that you and other people with well-developed limbs and simple minds can guess?"

"You scolded me?"

"What's wrong with scolding you? If I didn't beat you, I would have wanted to beat you! ”

The two argued louder and louder, and then they became so emotional that they almost started to do it, and if it weren't for the fact that a few brothers who were resting next to them noticed that something was wrong here and stepped forward to pull the two apart, I don't know how far things would go.

It's been so many years, and the two haven't seen each other for so many years, but it's the first time that it seems to be back to the time when they fought without saying a word.

Gu Li and Zhang Tongtong sat on the side, their four eyes staring at each other, neither admitting defeat or convincing anyone.

Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng looked at each other, at a loss, Zhang Jiusheng pushed Yun Sheng into the carriage first, and he himself sat between the two.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn't do anything?" Zhang Tong replied stiffly, but his eyes were still staring at Gu Li.

"What are you doing? Didn't I say, where did that cold, not-so-easy kid go? I hadn't seen him early in the morning. ”

Gu Li glanced at him, and then realized that Zhang Jiusheng was talking about Ah Ei.

The mood eased slightly, and Gu Li said: "Ah Ei has already gone to the capital to arrange things yesterday, don't worry about him." ”

Zhang Jiusheng nodded: "Oh, I'm not worried about him, I'm mainly worried about whether taking him away will affect our personal safety, especially Yunsheng?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Li was even more unhappy.

He stood up suddenly, and Zhang Jiusheng and Zhang Tong both looked up at him.

"Lao Tzu has a bunch of brothers to protect you, it doesn't matter if there is one less Aei!" Gu Li yelled, and a few vertical jumps disappeared.

Zhang Jiusheng didn't quite understand, turned his head and asked Zhang Tong: "So what happened to you just now?" Why is he so angry? Won't I just ask? ”

Zhang Tong shrunk his neck and said, "My lord, you have the ability to make people angry, and you haven't retreated at all. ”

"I'll just praise me for what you say, pack up and get ready to go." Zhang Jiusheng stood up, dusted off his clothes, and walked towards the carriage.

Coincidentally, Yun Sheng lifted the carriage curtain and poked his head out, blinked his eyes a few times, and asked, "Is it finished?" ”

"I'm done, I'm ready to go." Zhang Jiusheng said, jumping into the carriage while reaching out and pressing Yun Sheng's head back.

Gu Li is not a willful person in the end, he was angry for a while and led the horse back, still leading the way in front, they hurried along the way, there was no obstacle on the road, but everyone always felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

The calm before the storm will always have a large thick dark cloud pressing on the heart, overwhelming people's breath.

"Do you want to spend the night in the mountains tonight?" Yun Sheng was a little uneasy.

Zhang Jiusheng lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the road outside, because Ah Rong was gone, Gu Li was in the front again, except for Zhang Tong who was sitting in front of the carriage, Zhang Jiusheng didn't know anyone else, so he had to carefully open the carriage door and poke Zhang Tong's back with his fingers.

"Where are we staying tonight?"

Zhang Tongtou didn't reply and said: "No, I heard Gu Li say just now, we should be able to reach a small mountain village before nightfall and go there to borrow it, he has already ordered someone to arrange it first, don't worry about it." ”

"That's good."

The two of them did not speak quietly, and Yun Sheng could hear it while sitting in the carriage.

I'm going to return to the capital soon, and I don't know what happened to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, whether it has been covered with cobwebs and dust, whether it has long been made a nest by mice, and whether the tables, chairs and benches have been overturned on the ground beyond recognition?

Yun Sheng's heart was beating wildly.

She was very uneasy and apprehensive.

Unconsciously, she grabbed Zhang Jiusheng's sleeve and tightened her grip.

As if sensing Yun Sheng's nervousness, Zhang Jiusheng held Yun Sheng's hand in the palm of his hand with his backhand, her hand was still so thin and small, he could easily wrap her in it.

"It's fine." Zhang Jiusheng said softly.

After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the mountain village that Gu Li said, and when Yun Sheng and Zhang Jiusheng got out of the car, they only felt that their buttocks were numb.

Zhang Jiusheng just got out of the car, stood firmly on the flat ground with two legs, and looked back at the past, only to know what a bumpy road they had taken.

The road was muddy and bumpy, full of large and small stones, and there were sunken ditches on both sides, and it was the limit that could accommodate a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.

Fortunately, Zhang Tong's driving skills are good, otherwise Zhang Jiusheng would not be surprised if he fell into the ditch.

Because of the cold weather, the villagers in the mountain village stayed at home and did not come out, and occasionally a few families wafted out a little smoke and fire, which made people think that there were living people in the village.

Because the brothers had already greeted them, the group went directly to the farmer's house who was willing to take them in.

It's just that there are not many rooms in the farmer's house, and there are not enough people to live in them, so some of Mei Shi's brothers have to find a place to live outside, which makes Yun Sheng feel quite guilty.

"Otherwise, I'll still sleep in the carriage, it's too cold this day, no one can say when it will snow again, this sleeping outside, it's cold, it's easy to have an accident." Yun Sheng grabbed Zhang Jiusheng's sleeve, at this time, she desperately hoped that someone would be on her side.

And Zhang Jiusheng understood Yun Sheng's intentions.

"You can't sleep in the carriage, and the brothers don't have to sleep outside. We should bring enough bedding, ask the fellow if there is any empty room that can be cleaned, anyway, it is only for one night, everyone is okay. ”

Yun Sheng listened and nodded repeatedly.

Before, those brothers also slept outside, and the vigil never happened to them, and now they have to let them sleep outside in such a cold weather, Yun Sheng can't help it.

Gu Li thought about it, went out, walked around outside, discussed with the people in the farm, and finally agreed to clean up the firewood room.

Zhang Jiusheng also helped, and moved all the bedding on the carriage, covering almost the entire floor of the firewood room.

The smell in the firewood room was not very good, so Yun Sheng borrowed some wormwood and burned it around the firewood room, barely suppressing the rotten smell.

She put a brazier in her house into the firewood room, and she was busy back and forth, and the cracks of the leaky windows were tightly stuffed with strips of cloth, and she was actually tired and sweating.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Jiusheng finally grabbed Yun Sheng.

"How?" Yun Sheng was so busy that he was dizzy, and even the voice of talking to Zhang Jiusheng floated up.

"It's a group of big men, they know how to get it, you are a girl in and out, you see how embarrassed they are." Zhang Jiusheng pointed to the brothers who were standing outside slightly embarrassed.

Yun Sheng looked over, scratched his head, and then followed Zhang Jiusheng to the side.

Gu Li looked at the two, walked over, pushed Zhang Jiusheng, and said, "You two hurry back to the house and fall asleep, the next things, a group of our big men will do it, we don't need you." ”

Yun Sheng didn't want to leave, but seeing that he was a girl's house, it was not appropriate to stay here, and he stopped in three steps, and finally Zhang Jiusheng grabbed her arm and dragged her back to the house.

Zhang Jiusheng laid the bunk on the floor, and Yunsheng slept on the bed.

Simply, the mattresses given by the farmer are very thick, even if there is one less brazier, it is warm enough.

"Don't worry, they're all such big people, they've been through so much, they know how to maintain their physical strength. Believe it or not, they must have fallen asleep while we were talking. Zhang Jiusheng spread his mattress while turning his head to speak to Yun Sheng from time to time.

"Hmm." Yun Sheng sat on the bed, holding the quilt, and looked at Zhang Jiusheng's back in a bit of a daze.

Although Zhang Jiusheng is a pampered person, these quilts still smell sour, but now it is not what it used to be, the situation is different, and you have to sleep if you can't sleep.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhang Jiusheng dragged the quilt down slightly, and the taste was slightly lighter.

"I really didn't expect that there would be today."

"There's so much you didn't expect."

"What else I didn't expect?" Yun Sheng blinked.

There was no light in the room, but Zhang Jiusheng felt that Yun Sheng's eyes were very bright, and even brightened the bright moon hanging high above the window, as if he had seen through all his careful thoughts over the years.

Zhang Jiusheng grabbed the quilt, turned over, and said, "Hurry up and go to sleep, it's not early." ”
